Is there a way to have setup_xampp.bat update the paths in xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-dav.conf ?This is necessary because <Directory> does not allow relative paths.I would like to update those extra conf files as xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf is updated.

Thanks for your reply, Sharley. I just upgraded to 1.7.4 26.1.2011.I discovered that paths in conf files are updated as long as they fully contain the currently installed XAMPP directory.

As I think about the behavior more, it is an intelligent behavior. Kudos to the authors.

One caveat is:

The following paths will *NOT* be updated because 1.7.4. 26.1.2011 does not normalize the path characters"c:\Users\jon/xampp""c:\Users\jon\xampp""c:\Users/jon/xampp"In other words, install.php will not update the above because it thinks they are "different" from "c:/Users/jon/xampp"

Apache, however, will happily accept any combination of / and \ as the same directory.XAMPP can be made compatible with Windows Apache paths by adding few str_replace($path, '\', '/') in install.php
